I absolutely LOVE mecha anime's, and have followed Gundam Wing since
it's Japanese debut, even though I'm fairly new to the world of
Gundam fan fics.
--== Skip the Intro ==--
Gundam Wing is your basic Evil-Organization-wants-to-Rule-the-Universe
anime, with OZ on one side and the Colonies on the other. But even though
OZ greatly outnumbers the Colonies, the Colonies have 5 elite teenaged
pilots on their side, each piloting their own Gundam; revolutionary,
nearly indestructable gigantic mechas, getting their name from the
indestructable Gundanium alloy that they are built out of.
The first pilot we meet, Heero Yuy, is the only Japanese native of the bunch. His
name in Japanese litterally means "one". Heero is very unemotional and at
times seems to care about nothing, especially himself. Throughout the series,
Heero tries many times to either kill himself or destroy his Gundam Wing
Zero.
Heero grew up in the high gravity fields outside of the Colonies. Due to this,
Heero is almost super-human at times: able to take bullets, set his own
broken bones, skydive from buildings without parachutes and blow up nearly
everything around him without killing himself.
Heero's true nature in the series is The Angel. He is often protecting Relena
Dorlian-Peacecraft from certain annihilation, as well as the other Gundam
pilots. In the thick of battle, right before Heero does away with his enemy,
his Gundam, Wing Zero, will often be seen with a pair of white, feathery
wings silohuetted behind him before moving in for the kill.
The second pilot, Duo Maxwell is our American pilot and basically the comic
relief of the bunch. His name is old English for "two". Duo is the cheerful,
outgoing, obnoxious and carefree member of the group. At times, he seems to take it upon
himself to shield everyone weaker than himself from harm. He's usually involved
whenever Heero tries to kill himself, or present when the other does some sort
of super-human feat, such as setting his own broken bones.
Duo's nature in the series, despite his personality, is The God of Death, or
the Devil. Duo is often
seen wearing preists habits with a large iron cross hanging from his neck. In
battle, his Gundam Shinigami Deathscythe (litterally God of Death), often
just magically appears from out of nowhere and enters the battle weilding a
thermal scythe which miraculously can work ANYWHERE, even in water.
When piloting, Duo's personality seems to switch from his loving, charming
personality to one of death and hatred. His Gundam even is outfitted with a
duel set of soaring wings that resemble the wings of the Devil when silohuetted.
Duo's character is perhaps the most complex, as his personality tends to alter
much more often than Heero's.
In a good percentage of fan fiction on the net, and doujinshi, Heero and Duo
are usually paired (1 x 2). That's mostly the way you'll find it in my fics
as well.
There are a lot of legit Gundam and Endless Waltz artworks out there that actually
paint Heero and Duo into the same picture with each other, like the picture here
on the left. In the series, many feel
Heero is in love with Relena, and Duo with another teenager from the Colonies,
Hilde.
Another reason why Heero and Duo are often seen together is their natures.
They're almost complete opposites, with Heero on one side as The Angel, and
Duo on the other as The Devil.
Pilot three is Trowa Barton. Trowa is the silent one of the group, more so than
Heero,
very rarely ever saying more than a few words at a time. If Trowa didn't have
a mission to complete, he'd follow along in Heero's footsteps and kill himself.
Trowa's position
in the series is Strength. He often only wants to hold his own in
battle, at times refusing to team with any of the other Gundam pilots.
Trowa's Gundam, Heavyarms, is just that. It's outfitted with just about every
type of rocket launcher and plasma gun you could think off, though it possesses
one fatal flaw: Heavyarms often runs out of amunition quickly.
Trowa is one of the more talented of the pilots. As well as being an acomplished
acrobat, Trowa also plays the flute. You'll often see him along side Quatre
playing his flute as Quatre plays his violin.
Our fourth pilot is Quatre Raberba Winner, and he's perhaps the most out of place
pilot out of all the Gundam boys. Quatre is just 15 and barely reaches above
five feet tall. His name in French means "four", but Quatre's not French at
all. In fact, he's Arabian.
Quatre is the kind, loving little sweetheart
of the bunch, preferring if everyone would just sit down to a nice cup of tea
and just get along WITHOUT fighting.
His characteristics are almost femanine... which was probably brought around
by the fact that Quatre is the youngest and only male child of 25 siblings of the
extrodinarily rich Winner family. 24 older sisters. Could you imagine!?
Wierd enough, Quatre's role in the series is Bravery and Balance. Quatre is
pretty much the leader and brains of the 5 pilots. He is perhaps the bravest
and mentaly strongest of all the pilots. He has his own little private army,
a group of 40 moblie suit pilots called the Magnac Corps. In battle using
his Gundam Sandrock, Quatre always give his opponent ample chance to surrender,
then, hilarious enough, appologizes to them after he's knocked them flat.
Quatre is often seen paired with Trowa (3 x 4). In episode three of the series
when the Gundam boys were first discovering each other, Heavyarms had just run out
of amunition and was about to be killed when Quatre and his small army saved
him in the nick of time. But because Quatre traveled in Sandrock with an army,
Trowa attacked, thinking Quatre was still the enemy.
Quatre surrendered quickly, running out onto the gangplank of his Gundam as it
was locked in battle with Heavyarms. Trowa surrendered quickly after, and
perhaps Quatre looked to Trowa as more a savior for not killing him than
anything else.
Trowa and Quatre are often seen playing music together, with Trowa on his
flute and Quatre on his violin.

Our fifth and final pilot is Chang Wu Fei. Our China native, Wu Fei is the
"Solitary Dragon", as he's called, who is more honor-bound than any
Klingon could ever be. The kanji for the first part of his name, "Wu",
is "five". Wu Fei
is a trained killer and an expert swordsman and martial artist. He is cold
and at times very lippy, especially around women which he feels are inferior
to himself.
Wu Fei's role in the series is Justice. In much the same style of Amelia from
Slayers, you'll often hear Wu Fei spouting off about justice to his enemies as
he picks them off in his Gundam Nataku Shenlong (litteraly Legendary Dragon,
like the Shenlong in Dragon Ball Z).
Wu Fei's Gundam Shenlong takes after its name very well. In battle, it
breaths napalm fire, and its arms coil out into long, wriling heads, like
dragon heads. Wu Fei has named his Gundam "Nataku" after his first
wife who was killed by an OZ attack on his colony.
Wu Fei perhaps has more problems trying to keep himself in line with who
he really is, rather than what he is. He often goes through long depression
spells where he feels he's a coward or has been dishonorable, and flat out
refuses to pilot Shenlong because of his unworthyness.

A Gundam x Evangelion fic (despite it's impossibilities) -
A 4-chapter long, kinda indepth look into the mysteries of Gundam Wing
and how they sort of tend to parallel the same mysteries in Evangelion.
There's some story line to it as the 5 Gundams have to come across the 3
EVA's somehow and end up in NERV HQ. So, as
the gang's all getting to know one another, Duo thinks perhaps if he can
manage to sneak off with EVA Unit 01, he could use it as a backup system
for Deathscythe. But Duo's true nature is highly incompatible with what
EVA Unit 01 really is, and spins him into his mind to fight himself, and
eventually get himself captured by the NERV head honcho's. Slight
shounen ai. Some kissing. That's about it.

Character File - Chang Wu Fei
|
Good old honor-bound Wu Fei. This is just a short little piece on
Wu Fei's fight with his own inner demons - how he feels he's never worthy
enough to pilot Shenlong, and how if he can't live with honor, he might
as well not live at all.

Gundam Next:
Something to do With Food
|
Gundam x Slayers Crossover - YA! Gundam is just so wierd to cross with other
animes! This fic lands the Gundam boys in the midst of Slayers Next. There's
really no point to the fic... just random nonsence and stupidity. It kinda
follows along all those hilarious Slayers filler episodes (like the one where
they went fishing for lake dragons to make Dragon Cuisine)

I Used to Think that the Day Would Never Come.

My first Gundam Epic fic. So much is a mystery about Duo's past, especially
when he recieves a transmission in space that leads him out to an abandoned
OZ mobile suit carrier. The transmission was sent by a girl by the name of
Madeleine S. - the name Duo had given to Shinigami when he lived in
Maxwell Church. Duo pretty much becomes brainwashed by Madeleine and they
try to start the next war by kidnapping Relena, with the other Gundam
pilots almost taken in as hostages. VERY mild 1x2 and 3x4. Not enough to
even COUNT as shounen ai.
